Preface The objective of the project ‘Using the logsum as an evaluation measure’ that RAND Europe carried out for the Transport Research Centre (AVV) of the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management was to: Gain experience and weigh the advantages and disadvantages in a case study using both the classic cost-benefit analysis (CBA) approach and the logsum approach for project appraisal. This report presents the outcomes of both parts of this project, namely: • A literature review • A case study using the Dutch National Model System (LMS) for transport. This report was written for transport modellers and/or economists and other researchers with an interest in the assessment of transport projects.

infrastructure projects in The Netherlands are assessed ex ante by using cost- benefit analysis (CBA) procedures following the OEI-guidelines (CPB and NEI, 2000). The project benefits for travellers are incorporated in the form of changes in demand (e.g. from the Dutch national model system LMS or the regional models NRM) and changes in the generalised travel costs (using values of time from Stated Preference studies to monetised travel time savings), and applying the rule of half. The Transport Research Centre (AVV) of the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management has commissioned RAND Europe to perform a study on the use of the logsum (change) as a measure of the change in consumer surplus that results from a transport infrastructure project. RAND Europe has also subcontracted Professor Carl Koopmans of SEO to join the project team. The objective of this project is to: Gain experience and weigh the advantages and disadvantages in a case study using both the classic CBA approach and the logsum approach for project appraisal. 1.2 Phasing of the project This project consists of two parts: 1. A review of the literature on the use of logsums as a measure of consumer surplus change in project assessment. 2. A case study with the LMS in which three methods are compared for a specific project (Rondje Randstad: additional high speed and intercity trains connecting the four main cities in the Randstad: Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht): a. the classic CBA approach, 1 Logsums: Literature and Case Study RAND Europe b. the improved classic CBA approach (following the short term improvements described in Ecorys and 4Cast, 2004), c. and the logsum approach. 1.3 Contents of this report This report provides the outcomes of both parts. In chapter 2 the concept of consumer surplus is introduced first, followed by that of the logsum. This chapter gives the existing textbook representation. Subsequent chapters delve deeper into

  • Response to East Midlands Rail Franchise Public Consultation
    BOROUGH COUNCIL OF WELLINGBOROUGH AGENDA ITEM 5 Development Committee 11 September 2017 Report of the Director Response to East Midlands Rail Franchise public consultation 1 Purpose of report To seek approval to send a council response to the public consultation on proposed changes to the East Midlands Rail Franchise. 2 Executive summary 2.1 This public consultation is on proposed changes to the rail service from Wellingborough. This will involve fewer trains stopping at Wellingborough during peak hours in order to speed up train journey times on InterCity services (those services from Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby to London). 2.2 To counter this reduction in peak time services Wellingborough will be on a commuter line from Corby to London that will be serviced by longer trains in order to try and reduce the resultant overcrowding due to cutting InterCity services. This would also mean fewer direct trains northwards to Leicester in peak times. 3 Appendices Appendix 1 – Borough Council of Wellingborough response to the East Midlands Rail Franchise Public Consultation. Appendix 2 – East Midlands Rail Franchise Public Consultation document. 4 Proposed action: The Committee is invited to RESOLVE to submit the response in Appendix 1 to the East Midlands Rail Franchise public consultation. 5 Background 5.1 This document proposes changes to the East Midlands rail service currently operated by East Midlands Trains (EMT) through a public consultation process. The overall aim of these changes will be to improve the experience of passengers by providing more space and comfort, better and more frequent customer communication with the rail operator, improving the reliability and value for money of the service.
